A smiling man in an orange turban and orange draped garment with long swept-back hair and a gold bead necklace sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, red and purple flowers. Facing him, a man in a white shirt bends forward with his hands extended toward him, as if offering greeting or receiving blessing. The man on the throne has a red tilak on his forehead, and a gold bangle on his wrist. The scene appears to be a festival or satsang setting with a red backdrop.
